So this is how the world ends?
Not with a bang
but with a whimper
as a child curled
in the darkness
to protect against the night
turned in on itself
with regret as
a winter's coat
that give no warmth
but gives comfort
in the cold
of sorrow's sleep.
Wrapped in self preservation
of discarded plastic
for refuge
cold and weary from
fighting the incessant
flow of time .
Worn out from
struggling with embryonic
form that encases in winter
and there is no victory
to impassion
enflame
or encourage
a new start.

So this is how the world ends…

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

WOW

I have
suddenly
become
dumb
the cold
outside has
made me
numb

Regards to you O Kethry...
It is good to see you ,

Keth my darling sister of soul and heart, oh collector of my tears and bringer of my smiles. I'm so tempted to tell you this isn't as fabulous as it is Envy isn't becoming and jealousy is to be abhorred but this makes me very Green eyed

Fabulous Writing

This really is absolutely excellent, and yes I do wish I'd written this

This is pretty much how I feel right now, excellent, Kethry.

Dear Kethry,
When you write depressed you certainly bring me down. Stop it! Sit up and take a deep breath and tack that big Aussie grin back on your face! It's the Season To Be Jolly!
